Rainy Days


This weekend my family and I went to the Johnson Cabin for some good old Johnson family fun. Problem was - it wouldn't stop raining. What was there to do but just sit in the cabin and enjoy the sound and smell of the rain? David, Caleb, my cousin, and I went on a couple walks while Suzy bounded beside us and almost killed a turkey that we didn't even see until it ran out of the trees, leaving its turklets behind, and scaring the crap out of me because we had been talking about cougars all day long.

The rain brought mud, which was a little difficult on our little Avalon when we tried to drive the dirt, now mud, road. Very fun. David and I had some fun times, jumping into waist deep water with our pants on just for the fun of it (and because we promised to, on family). It was also fun when he pushed me off of a log and I fell off backwards. Ask Karla or Wayne what happened there.

My two favorite parts, however, involved Karla and my mom. The first one happened when we went to Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. After the movie everyone was trying to get out of the place because in Vernal's small theater, the next movie starts RIGHT after one finishes. While the credits were rolling however, Karla was completely unaware that people were trying to get out of the aisle, so she was dancing along with the music playing during the credits. About eight people were behind her just standing there while Karla just continued to dance, for about two minutes while everyone just stood there, waiting. It doesn't sound like much, but David, Caleb and I were laughing so hard, I almost started crying...almost.

Number two, my mom. Everyone knows that mice get into our cabin. Well we were all just sitting around the cabin, talking at night when my mom thought she saw a mouse and she suddenly stopped and said, and this a direct quote here, "I saw something...and then I saw something!" Everyone laughed for about an hour before we calmed down. It was so funny.

Hopefully you guys reading this are laughing and its not just one of those things where you had to be there. I hate it when that happens. Boo.

I was laughing. My mom's a funny dancer. I was jealous all weekend that you guys were at the cabin without us. :(
